Welfare Racism: Playing the Race Card Against America's Poor

By Noel A. Cazenave and Kenneth Neubeck

Book Overview

Welfare Racism analyzes the impact of racism on US welfare policy. Through historical and present-day analysis, the authors show how race-based attitudes, policy making, and administrative policies have long had a negative impact on public assistance programs. The book adds an important and controversial voice to the current welfare debates surrounding the recent legilation that abolished the AFDC.
